Golden Bag

i was searching through a local charity/thrift store when i came across this gorgeous ( in my opinion) material and leather cut offs

instantly an image of a bag with wooden handles and wooden feet come to mind ....... when i came home i put the wounderful treasure id found away in a safe place and waited until i dagged out the sewing machine ( i have a very small home and it looks overcroweded when things are not put away)

the time finally came when i joined a swap on craftster and i was to make one tiny item ..... (done that cant show just yet dont want to spoil it for my swap partner) ..... the sewing machine was out ....... the image of that bag came to mind and i begun to make a pattern..... cut out the material sew it all together and put in the handles..

and the results ....

... i still have to look for the feet but i havent completely finished the inside so i can still get the feet on when i find the ones i want......

it looks a bit ruffled on the bottom edges put its just that i didnt adjust the base properly............................................................. i just checked it and it was definalty because the base was slightly out of place

the base on the inside is removable and its the golden pattern one side and the white the other.....
